Re: 73-91 8-lug 19.5 22.5 24.5 Pics

Thanks for the comments on my truck, It is an 88, 454 with tbi 4 speed, paint is about 10 years old, full air ride from Hills Hot Rods, 3 inch beeltech spindles up front with custom tubular upper and lower arms, sectioned front crossmember at top of bag mounts, 8 gc 1/2" valves, 3 3 gallon air tanks, dual via air compressors, the rear is narrowed and running a modified air bar setup with a big notch. wheels are 22" Alcoa classics all 6, tires are Toyo 265-35-22 in front and 265-40-22 in rear. Interior is all black leather and black suede but still in a factory look, Body mods are shaved drip rails, shaved cowl panel, 88-98 style cab lights, thats about it hoping to repaint in the next year or so trying to finish my house remodel first. i was lucky I had a nice truck to start out with. Here are some before during and after shots.

Man, I have to tell you, I love the under the hood treatment. I never saw that before on your pics, but it is awesome! Very nice job!

LOW1TON can we get some pics of the inside of your truck plse? Pvkj454 your truck is my personal fav. dually I've seen. Show them the pic with the trailer. I noticed you have newer cab lights how hard was that to pull of/ what parts you need and where'd you get the clear marker light on the back fenders?

Do you want to swap to SRW 19.5s or do a dually conversion with 19.5s? Some chevy P-30s had 19.5s that are a direct bolt on for 2000 and earlier dually 1 ton GM trucks.

My truck is single rear wheel. I do not want to convert it to a dully. I want to change the 16" 8 lug wheels to 19.5 " wheels if possible. I want steel wheels not high dollar custom wheels. thanks

Here's one a local guy built as a tow rig. Cummins 6bt with super B turbo, Eaton 9 speed trans, Spicer 110 rear, Dana 60 front. Look reallll close at the bump on the hood for the turbo, it's a sheet metal diff cover for a 14 Bolt

Re: 73-91 8-lug 19.5 22.5 24.5 Pics

I have an 80's 6000 and it has 20" wheels on it. But they are the Ring style wheels. Is there any adapter that can adapt any other wheels for that?
Hope I am naming them properly.But they are a ring wheel which fits front or back
Any info would be appreciated

I think a 22.5 aluminum rim would add enough weight as it is to a non-air brake truck. I'd hate to try to stop a steel wheel THAT big with a 1 ton. Besides, these aluminum wheels ARE for a work truck. Millions of Semi's can't be wrong.

Re: 73-91 8-lug 19.5 22.5 24.5 Pics

Just to bring a dead thread back to life. Can someone please point me in the right direction for a part number on a set of 22.5 Alcoa wheels. I'm going to be fitting them on my 79 C30 and wanted to make sure I get something that fits decently. I'll be using a set of adapters from TW&T.

Shipping is the problem Trevor an I ran into. It's more cost effective for me to run 22.5's and buy his adapters than to get a set of his wheels. I'd really prefer a set of tow nastys...
